True, though this approach is useful for all sorts of stuff, too. Obviously handy in the middle of a respiratory pandemic, but even on the best day, having more tools for keeping folks alive with busted lungs is a win.
I’m sitting in intensive care next to my two year old who is on oxygen. Whatever works.
Pro: better breath
I was just thinking we were all taking it up the ass with inflation!
Turtals can absorb oxygen through their all-in-one hole.
I like turtals
Ah fuck, I can’t believe I’ve done this.
Is this article is true. Then soon humans will follow them.
Might just be the best comment of all time
They should just take me instead 😔
Maybe they like it and moan the whole time
That sounds unpleasant but when you are drowning, what can you do.
When your lungs can no longer use it, pull out that ass and boof it

It's rather funny I immediately knew you were referencing Missy Elliot.
Thank you for this.
There was a study where they had animals breathing this fluid but they died from the exhaustion it took to move fluid in and out of their lungs as it's much more work then moving air. I know this isn't the same concept but it's interesting.
So would repeated lung-based applications train your diaphragm to be stronger?
You can already exercise your diaphragm and it's in constant use all day. I seriously doubt that you could exercise it to the point of being able to breathe liquid long term. It'd be like being on a rowing machine for the rest of your life, but using your diaphragm instead of your arms.
The things we do to lab animals are truly horrific. 'We'll keep you alive but we gotta torture a thousand animals to death first'.
No problem. You're allowed to refuse modern treatments and just die. Your call. Stand for your beliefs.
Well I'm already a vegetarian. But isolated individuals like Stella McCartney refusing modern medicine unfortunately does little to improve lab animal welfare (though I respect her choice). It needs proper campaigning. So much of what they do is useless and needlessly cruel. People always think of, like, life-saving drugs being tested on animals. That's a very small minority of what actually takes place.
If my death actually had the chance to save a bunch of animals from torture? Then I like to think I would refuse, yeah.
Don’t kid yourself. They’d do the same to us if the situation were reversed.
Just work a CPAP type device into the process.

If I'm choking, and the saving move is for an unqualified stranger to shove an air stick up my ass, just let me die.

For free, even.
Yes the unqualified stranger is a problem. Maybe need a certification like CPR.
Yeah but how many people are up to date on cpr. I was certified about 20 years ago, but if someone was dying I'd give it a go. Same with heimlich and even an AED. I would have a much harder time bringing myself to pull down a stranger's pants and shove something up their ass. I'm just saying, I think this is more of a hospital tool than something like an AED.
On the other hand, there are probably more people with experience shoving things up assholes than with performing CPR.
Now that you mention it, I'd probably be better at this than CPR.
Just gotta remember not to keep thrusting...and also to make extra sure they're drowning...

New CPR technique?... 🥗
Abyss almost had it right
Actually they did have it right. Perfluorocarbons can be used via lungs to oxygenate the body.
(Wikipedia also has a good bit of info on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing)
It has been successful in Human experiments. Mostly in medical (Premature babies) and for diving. However, one of the main issues is CO2. To help rid the body of CO2, they suggest hooking up a catheter to your blood stream via your thigh connected to a CO2 scrubber. There is even a Patent for it: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8631788B2/en
Double fun fact, the rat in the movie drowning and breathing the Perfluorocarbons? That was real, it was really breathing the liquid.
Actually they did have it right.
They ALMOST had it right. The main issue isn't getting that first breath into the lungs, it's getting the deoxygenated water OUT. Breathing fluid places a tremendous strain on the lungs and diaphragm. Our muscles simply are not designed to be able to breathe fluid. There have been attempts to rectify this, but the most non-invasive way we've found so far to do this is through rectal administration since the small intestine can absorb oxygen from fluid as well. Hence, the OP article.

Rectify… I see what you did there.
You mean liquid? Air is a fluid
Pretty sure air is a gas.
Air is a fluid. Many people misunderstand what a fluid is. They think it's a synonym for liquid. It's not. Liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids. Gas is also a fluid. A fluid is something where the molecules flow. Liquids and gases do just that.

They are being accurate. Air acts like a fluid because it is a fluid.
Oh wow :O
"We all breathed liquid for nine months, bud. Your butt will remember!"
Not gonna lie you had me in the first half.
And I would not charge a bit. Perfect film.
Not only would I not charge to show the movie, I wouldn't change anything either. ;)
Directors or Theatrical Cut?
Director's Cut is a god damned masterpiece.
It has to be the Director's, right? I'd be interested in reading an argument for the theatrical cut. Length, maybe.
You wouldn't charge...to...so what? To have the rectal injection?...look, I am glad you enjoy your sexual life however you decide, but this aint the place. Plus, director's or not, any cut in that regard would be really painful. I wouldn't recommend any cut.
... Love you wife
Futurama DID get it right
Good news!
It's a suppository

Jesus I laughed so hard at this
Airnemas
Darwin.
All they need is a tidepod after for the clean up
That's called 'Darwin scrubbing the gene pool'.
Yeah I dont know how this could be considered a bad thing.
The same people that mocked a generation for Tide Pod challenge, right.
They'll end up with the cans with UV leak detection dye...and then we'll have a way to physically identify the idiots.
TLDR Bottom line is " However, if a respiratory disease knocks us on our butts and our lungs are bottoming out, we might be willing to consider a little derri-air."
How can I leave this behind?
We need 3 bass players for that tune
Nah, just a bass that can be turned up to 11.
The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'
So I have read.
Well why don't you just make 10 louder, and make 10 be the top... number, and make that a little louder?
Talk about mudflaps.
But imagine drowning in your own fluids... for days, because they can keep you alive by other means
That seems terrifying
They would likely sedate you during that time.
humans are sooooo good at finding reasons to shove things up their ass
Trust me Colleen! It’s uh, for science! Yeah, that’s it. For science!
"I'll put this lab coat on if it makes you feel better."
Yeah, listen to my husba- lab…ass..lab assistant, it’s purely for science.
...and they figured this out, how?
Danny the intern!
Probably the same way butt chugging was discovered: a lot of alcohol and some people with nothing else to do.
Gotta use or lose that grant money
Mice, rats, and pigs can breath through their intestines. Apparently we can too.
Since it won’t let me paste the link:
Mice, rats and pigs all share a secret superpower: They can all use their intestines to breathe, and scientists discovered this by pumping oxygen up the animals' butts. "We initially looked at a mouse model system to see if we could deliver oxygen gas intra-anusly,"…
…”Every time we performed experiments, we were quite surprised," Takebe told Live Science. Without intestinal ventilation, mice placed in a low-oxygen environment survived for only about 11 minutes; with ventilation into their anuses, 75% survived for 50 minutes, thanks to an infusion of oxygen that reached their hearts. The team then tried using oxygenated liquid, rather than gas, in mice, rats and pigs, and they found similarly promising results. "The pandemic has highlighted the need to expand options for ventilation and oxygenation in critical illness, and this niche will persist even as the pandemic subsides," as there will be times when mechanical ventilation is unavailable or inadequate on its own.”…
So - to clarify - did they suffocate these animals to prove a point, or did they stop the experiment at the first sign of distress and oxygenate them?
Also - is this treatment something that could be used to help pets in respiratory distress? Rats are prone to URI so it could be a helpful medical intervention.
Oh, just stick it up your ass!
But that's your answer for everything
This is literally what Evangelions do when Shinji gets in the robot.
So... this should be an alternative to intubating COVID patients.
Covid patients you really don't like.
Intubation can fuck up your lungs. I'd rather take a chance with my poop chute
On second thought, I'm not sure which is worse. Better give them both just to be sure.
It's a tiny variation in the procedure. They already prone then.

If your colon is going to double as a third lung then it's going to give new meaning to talking shit.
Install a set of vocal cords, and the GOP would have a new shit-talker.
Shitty deal.
Science marches forward with Bubble Butt.
…is nobody gonna talk about how this is from fucking Syfy? As in, the former SciFi Channel?
Not saying it’s not legit, because it is. Just hilarious that this is the source that reports it.
Heard this is how they kept 45 alive
Sounds like you’re blowing smoke up my ass 💨
can my asshole get me high, too?
I just read the post title and came to the conclusion that we can breathe through our butts. I refuse to gain any further understanding after that.
Some olympic swimmers gonna do this before hopping in the pool.
Don’t know why you wouldn’t do a dobhoff tube and drop the oxygen enriched fluid into the small bowel, it tends to have better nutrient absorption properties, and would allow for continuous infusion.
That gonna be the next commercial? “Take it up the ass for Covid.”
They haven't really been doing a lot of commercials for COVID- it's been more of a word-of-mouth campaign.
Wondering if this could be used with people who have congestive heart failure, where the lungs eventually fill with fluid. Not that the technique will be on the market in time for me, but I'd definitely volunteer for testing.
Rectal oxygen for antivaxxers seems like the right treatment.
It’s my preference anyway.
I think I will just pass on this.

This technology bodes well for naked Scuba!
Well , if I'm getting Corona I will at least die with a raging boner
Does this still work if the ivermectin and bleach enemas made you shit out your intestinal lining?
It would apparently work even better under those circumstances.

Wait is this true or are you blowing perfluorocarbons up my ass?
Gotta be honest, that title is wild
Butt chugging oxygen
Link to study?
It's in the article: https://www.cell.com/med/fulltext/S2666-6340(21)00153-7
There are some turtles who can breathe through thier hole...
As a smoker, I'm just going to add this to the list of things I can look forward to if I don't pack it in.
There’s a “getting fucked by inflation” joke to be made here, but I’m not gonna do it.
I knew my kink would pay off somehow
It didn’t go so well in the Abyss
Cyclist did this like 12 years ago. The sprinter Pettachi got caught with perfluorocarbons in his blood. They bind much more oxygen molecules than red blood cells. There are cases where cyclist got really sick from them. I want to say the spanish cyclist Nozal almost died from them.
“We’re sorry ma’am, we had to put your husband on a boofalator”
The stuff we do to animals under the name of science is unbelievable
"Get a covid vaccine or start breathing thru your ass" is the argument that will finally get everyone.
i would rather die
"what are you doing step-perfluorocarbons?"
Wait I thought we were supposed to shove a UV light up our ass?
Or take an ivermectin suppository and a clorox gargle?
But no, it's rectally administered perfluorocarbons.
Got it.
But yea what about that 99.9% survival rate
/s
Sometimes the cure IS worse than the disease

A reverse fart? Nice.
Stop blowing smoke up my ass
Hey, you're about to die by drowning in your own fluids, so we're going to shove this hose up your ass and pump you full of fluid so you can breathe. Just try not to clench, fighting only makes it worse.
Nope.
Old news, this was discovered months ago now, maybe even a couple of years.
Yall shoulda seen my face when i read this notification😂
Who tf thinks to try something like this? And how? And why?
So basically, boof it?
There have been, at some place and time, pigs with their heads submerged being kept alive by people doing things to their asses.
Finally, we find a way to prevent spreading of COVID!
Ladies and gentlemen, stand up and breath clench.
It wouldn't help prevent spread but it could help keep a person alive if normal ventilators weren't working because of fluid build-up in the lungs.
"If I burped while receiving this, is it essentially a fart?"
This would be the question I'd have to ask my doctor.
Basically, yes.
Mmm yes I concur
I see medicine has circled back around to putting stuff up drowning people's asses
